Approach to Predict Land Subsidence in Old Goafs considering the Influence of Engineering Noise by Chao Du, Fajin Zu, Chunpeng Han

“…Considering that it is easily disturbed by various engineering factors such as weather, hydrology, and construction during engineering monitoring, the collected subsidence data contain various noises. In order to reduce the influence of engineering noise on the accuracy of subsidence prediction, it is proposed to use the Daubechies (DB) wavelet to decompose the original subsidence time series; the items with the low-frequency trend, after decomposition, are predicted using long short-term memory (LSTM) model, items with high-frequency noise used the autoregressive (AR) time series model to make predictions, and the prediction results of the low-frequency trend term and the high-frequency noise term are summed to obtain the total time series predicted value. …”
